The Classy sales team is hiring Business Development Representatives (BDRs) to support our push upmarket. The ideal candidate would have previous sales development experience, be excited to pursue a career in sales, and someone who has done their research on what makes an outstanding performer.

BDRs are often the first contact that a prospective customer has with Classy and spend their days conducting strategic outreach to decision makers of nonprofit organizations, while also following up and championing business relationships.
